Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] SSH port forwards behind restrictive firewall

 Hi All,

 I think that I have confused myself with this.  I am behind a firewall/http 
 proxy which seems to only allow outbound connections on ports 80  443 for 
 web browsing.  This is not enough for me, as I would like to use my mail 
 client to send and receive mail from behind the firewall.

 I tried connecting to ssh servers which listen on different ports, besides 
 tcp/22 and I was not successful.  This is probably an indication that the 
 internet gateway machine only accepts connections for packets that have a 
 destination to ports 80  443.

 If the above is correct, am I right to assume that to be able to run a tunnel 
 through this internet gateway I should run something like: 

 ssh -L :localhost:443 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 or are ssh packets somehow distinguishable by their headers, so that a 
 cleverly crafted firewall will still identify them and drop them?
   
I don't have a direct answer, but it depends on the configuration of the
firewall. You can analyze for content and you can also allow all traffic.

 Hi,

 I was planning to install KDE 4.0.1 and finally got it all fetched. 
 Sort of ran into this tho.

 So even the qt3 that I have installed is masked.  What's going on?  I
 have and plan to keep KDE 3.5.8 around for a while so I assume it
 needs qt3 but yet KDE 4.0 needs qt4 if I understand correctly.  What's
 the best thing to do here?

 Thanks

Are you sure you didn't unmask your qt package using
/etc/portage/package.keywords and install the wrong version?

Not really a gentoo question, but, you have 2 options.

Add your modules directory to the $PYTHONPATH.
To see what that is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ echo $PYTHONPATH
/usr/lib/portage/pym

Next option is to put it in /usr/lib/python2.4(or 2.5)/site-packages

Last, but certainly not least, put the python module in your python
projects root directory

Re: [gentoo-user] dhcpd uses fake MAC address

Same experience here. I always thought it was a linux/windows

  Nope, it only happens with the dhcpd of Gentoo.  Other Linux boxes
  report the correct MAC address.
 
 my dhcpd reports the right mac adress (when I try it), so it must be your 
 fault ;)
 


Could it be a /etc/conf.d/net issue? Mind pasting yours?
